Title Game
Maine over Montana

So Maine is going to win in Boone, win in Statesboro the next week, then win in Fargo the next week... and put the cherry on top by defeating Montana on a neutral field. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooookay...

If that happens it will be the greatest playoff run I've seen and I go back to 1985 in 1-AA.

[Engineer86]

While I can understand people having a change of heart on their picks. What did anyone see from yesterday that would cause you to change your picks going forward? Unless you picked JMU to win at NDSU. In all of the above I see one of yesterday's winners picked to win and that is JMU. Changing to NDSU is the only change I could see making based on yesterday. With SHSU, you either believe or not, I don't see yesterday changing that. Thus I would think changes are based on more than just yesterday.

This would be quite a run. JMU did it on the road all the way in 2004. Not sure who else it was against, I know they started winning 14-13 at Lehigh. But when you list what Maine has to do to win it, WOW that a really tough road. Given that perspective, I would also doubt this.

Maine winning it all would be a big time run and upset

I agree, but the Black Bears are as good as any CAA playoff juggernaut I've seen recently, and with a week off to rest and focus for the challenge ahead, I'd be very worried if I were a fan of a team on their road to Frisco.

What about Towson then? They beat Maine pretty handily @ Maine

Towson is still young as a team, and that doesn't spell success in the playoffs. Delaware was able to capitalize on Towson's lack of focus and mistakes to win, while we got manhandled by Maine. It's anecdotal, but I think Towson beating Maine was an anomaly.

Thats a good point. But Towson beat both Maine and UNH pretty handily, and then UNH beat Maine, so I think its safe to say Towson is the better team. In the end, I dont think Maine, UNH, or Towson has a shot at the title, but the best chance in my mind would be Towson after that little round robbin at the end of the season.

Seems a lot of folks have Montana in the finals, all losses, either to GSU or NDSU.

But they would have to win on the road the entire way and some very difficult foes ahead
